Two Sides of One Heart:

No Matter How Much It Hurts

Part I

Kikyou

Disclaimer: I don't own Kikyou, Kagome, Inuyasha, or anything else related Inuyasha related.

It's late,

And all I can see is the pale light,

That reflects from the moon.

The moon...

It always looks sad and lonely,

Just like me.

Walking silently,

I make my way through the calm forest easily,

I know it like the back of my hand.

To my surprise, you are there,

Sitting on one of the high branches,

Guarding the tree which is now known as your territory.

Constantly asking myself why I don't just leave,

I gradually make my way up to the tree,

All the time expecting you to do something.

You do nothing but stare,

As if to see inside of me,

But I know that you will find nothing.

I'm just a corpse,

Filled with the souls of others,

And a tiny bit of my own.

I know it's hard for you to understand that,

But you must,

You have her now.

Putting on the toughest face I can muster,

I call out your name,

It hurts even as the word leaves my lips.

"Inuyasha"

You jump down from your resting place,

And land right in front of me,

Your eyes are still searching for my soul.

I scoff at you,

Figuring that if I play mean,

You'll get the message and go.

But you don't,

You give me a look,

The one you used to use when I was upset.

But I turn away,

How could I keep looking at you,

When you look so welcoming?

How could I keep looking at you,

When you're beckoning to me,

As the sun to the plants of the Earth?

I can't,

So I turn away,

And pretend that there's not even a small part of me that still cares.

You call out my name,

And I stop,

For I can hear the hurt in your voice.

I turn around and look into your eyes,

It hurts so bad,

I want you so much.

Then I hear a sound,

A soft rustling,

In the bushes,

And I know that I can't stay,

I must leave,

I cannot meddle with the strands of fate…

No matter how much it hurts…

A/N: So that's Kikyou's POV, don't you just want to cry for her. Can you guess what she's heard? I bet you can…some things are just to obvious. Well, I hope you enjoyed the first part of my 3 part poem series. Next, see how Kagome feels.
